Most people who perform HIIT don't support their workout with the proper nutrition. Today we clear up the fog surrounding what you should do with your diet and supplements to make the most of high intensity interval training.
Your workouts will be greatly improved by following the simple steps shown in today's article.
One of the most common myths in the gym is training on an empty stomach. When it comes to fat loss this is actually yesterday's advice. In the last ten years there have been countless scientific studies which have shown that you can gain far more from a workout if you get the right nutrients into your body before you hit the gym.
This form of cardio is still relatively new to the regular gym user, but has been used by athletes for the biggest part of three decades, so while the majority of trainers are already aware that nutrition needs to be changed when working with interval training, the regular gym goer sometimes gets stuck in the wrong way of thinking.
The majority of individuals who utilize a high intensity cardio approach are looking for fat loss results rather than athletic performance so that is the area we will focus on today. There are two key things you can do to enhance your fat loss workout considerably:
* Most people perform their workout on an empty stomach and consume their protein or other supplements after they have finished in the gym. Research actually shows that you can far greater fat loss results if you also pop in a protein shake around twenty minutes before your session, particularly with high intensity cardio sessions.
* Essential amino acids are also fantastic. These will work with your protein supplement to help you retain lean muscle while you burn off fat in the gym.
The majority of people who take their supplements after a session are doing so because they just believe that's what you are supposed to do. In fact, science points out that you can enhance results by taking care of your body both sides of the workout window.
When looking at Essential Amino Acids, for example, research concludes that having them before a workout is superior to taking them post-workout. Two groups trialed this a few years ago and while the post-workout group were able to take up 16% of the amino's the pre-workout group enjoyed a massive 42% muscle uptake.
So there you have it, folks. To get the most from your HIIT session you should consume a simple whey protein supplement and some essential amino acids prior to your session, followed by a decent protein shake afterwards. Chances are you were already consuming your post-workout shake anyway, so this tiny little change will help kick-start your high intensity interval training to the next level and bring unparalleled fat loss results to you.
Your workouts will be greatly improved by following the simple steps shown in today's article.
